Guys, there are a lot of people here that know a lot about work and money. I'm in a situation in which I don't know what to do.
I'm a software developer. I had 2 FTE jobs that was not demanding and I enjoy them and didn't have to spend whole day on them. In IT there is a little bit of crisis now. Thus, I'm left with only 1.5 FTE. Still pretty good money. I can afford all the expenses and save some money or even go for a short abroad trip every month. Definitely far from being rich.
There is a chance that I will end with only 1 FTE because the half is not stable. My main job is rock solid and I'm safe here.
I received an offer for a second FTE in a company. The only thing that motivates me is money. The job is not interesting. I'm stressed that I will be overwhelmed and overworked. The good points is that the job is remote, so I can probably keep my main job and also work on this new one. I'm scared that this is like my last chance to set up a situation to have two remote, contract jobs and earn good. Inside, I'm afraid of the stress and amount of work. I don't want to be low achiever but I'm content with my life. My current job is mostly calm and I know my duties. I feel content. I try to set up some business with my friend but it will take at least one year to be ready. I earn more than average in my country but can't afford a big house or Porsche. The new job will give me +100% to my salary. I don't know if I should accept it or no. It's constantly on my mind. I need your honest and serious advice.
